Despite the disparity in shot volume and quality, the home side’s resilience was evident, but ultimately not enough to contain Sougbouttlin’s clinical finishing. The tactical battle was a high-wire act, with Sougbouttlin’s precision in front of goal contrasting with Bulles Hotspur’s more opportunistic approach.
